It's about time they sorted it. Compared to some of the American chapters, our site was real poor.

Excellent to see the online membership now, that's even ahead of the Arb Association, and they are starting to get the info for next years APF....just hope my trousers and boots last that long.

OK, seems like a good offer on the membership - almost too good. What are the magazines like that are being offered free like and is the saw any good? It doesn't say!

 

 

Some might say that if the offers too good to be true then it is, thats often true. So, should I sign up or what?

i had a free samurai saw a couple years ago. it cut well but i bent it pretty quick......rbtree mentioned over on the pruning saw thread that they have been beefed up a bit, so might be worth giving them a second try

IMO the ISA magazines are ok, the journal is very informative on the technical side, and the Treeline mag has your typical trade mag agenda, news views and reviews. The last Treeline mag had an article on traditional orchards, which I think has been covred in various other tree mags. On the whole not bad, but whether its worth your hard earned cash, then only you can decide. I think they are offering TotalArb too, which seems a good deal. Personally I liked the Samurai saw when they came out, but prefer the Zubat over them.

I've seen the Total Arb magazine before, it was a while ago though, a couple of months at least. It seemed to me that it was just a lot of press releases cobbled together to pad out a few articles that were unreadable, what is a good magazine to get hold of??

Yorkshireman, the exams can be and are provided at several centres, even one close to you. Check out with ISA UK&I Chapter office email [email protected]

 

I am biased but we need you guys as members so that you can be better represented and we can provide the information and events that you require. See my other emails on another thread.
